U2 – Van Diemen's Land
Capo 4
Intro
G5DADG5-D
Verse
Hold me now, oh hold me now
DG5DG5D
Till this hour has gone around
BmG5AAsus4A
And I'm gone on the rising tide
F#mBmG5
For to face Van Diemen's land
DADG5D
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
DG5DG5D
To be rent from one so dear
BmG5AAsus4A
We fought for justice and not for gain
F#mBmG5
But the magistrate sent me away
DADG5D
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
DG5DG5D
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
BmG5A
But a day will come in the dawning age
F#mBmG5
When an honest man sees an honest wage
DADG5D
Hold me now, hold me now
DG5DG5D
Till this hour has gone around
BmG5A
And I'm gone on the rising tide
F#mBmG5
For to face Van Diemen's land
DADG5D
Still the gunman rules and widows pay
A scarlet coat now a black beret
They thought that blood and sacrifice
Could out of death bring forth a life
